Liu Peiyun couldn't help but remind him: "The teacher said that he is a good seedling and must be cultivated well."
"I know." Chen Xingling responded, "I will definitely train him well in the future, but he is only three years old now, so he can play however he wants. There is no need to rush!"
She had been raising her son all by herself. In her hometown in Beijing, she had a lot of housework to do every day and had no time to go out, so little Hu stayed at home most of the time, and at most ran out to play with Niuniu and other neighbor kids.
At that time, she only noticed that the little guy spoke more slowly than other children, but she was busy at the time and did not pay attention to her son's specific potential.
After coming to Yucheng, her son started going to kindergarten. He ate lunch with Gu Qi every day and then went to his office for lunch break. She found that her child was in contact with more people and could speak more fluently than before.
Now it seems that Gu Qi's companionship at noon and in the evening has actually made the little guy wise up!
I don’t know what the genius father taught his son to enable him to learn so many Chinese characters in one go and do such complicated arithmetic problems - I am really impressed by him!
But in her opinion, her son is only three years old and there is no rush for him to learn so much knowledge. Because in her heart, her son's character and morality are more important, and teaching him to be a good person who abides by the law is the top priority.
In the process of children's growth, the company and correct guidance of parents are particularly important. Of course, it is equally important to let them play when they should play.
Liu Peiyun has always loved her daughter. She knows that her daughter has read more books and knows more principles than she does. Since her daughter says there is no rush, then there is no rush.
"Hello, let him have some fun first! Boys, running around can keep them strong."
Chen Xingling sat under the big banyan tree and taught Zhao Xiaoxing how to prepare seaweed.
"If you clean it up, there won't be any sand or impurities in it, and it will taste better. When we live by the sea, we either eat seaweed soup or kelp soup. Sometimes we'll get a boatload of kelp, cut it into strips, and dry it in the sun. When we want to eat it, we'll soak it in water."
Zhao Xiaoxing grew up in an inland area. This was her first time seeing the generous gifts from the ocean and she was amazed and praised them endlessly.
"Sister-in-law, I...I have only eaten river shrimp. Today is the first time I have eaten large sea shrimp! This is the first time I know that the fish and shrimp in the sea are so big!"
Chen Xingling reminded with a smile: "There are also small ones, but we usually throw the small ones back and wait for them to grow. However, sea shrimps are indeed larger than river shrimps. I have even caught such a big lobster while diving!"
Zhao Xiaoxing looked at her gestures and laughed in surprise.
"Really? Then-then it can be eaten for several days?"
Chen Xingling shook his head. "Seafood generally doesn't last long. It has to be cooked and eaten on the same day, otherwise it will go bad. If you want to store seafood for a long time, you usually have to dry it in the sun. Look! The smelly squid my mom dried is one of them."
Zhao Xiaoxing gained more knowledge and broadened her horizons, and her eyes sparkled.
"Sister-in-law, what are your sisters-in-law doing? I see they are all carrying big bamboo baskets out."
Chen Xingling smiled and replied, "They went to pry open oysters. Some people come to the beach to collect oysters to eat or sell, and the price is calculated based on the size and weight. They also bring back scallops, sell the big ones, and keep the small ones at home."
When Zhao Xiaoxing heard that she could make money, her eyes lit up.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do next? I see that the girls in the county seem to have their own jobs, and there are also female workers in the shipyard. I heard from Ayi that you will also have to work after you go to college. I'm married, I can do housework, but I also want to make money."
Chen Xingling knew that Zhao Xiaoxing was not the kind of silly little country girl. In the original book, she dared to love and take responsibility. After discovering that Gu Yi was irresponsible, she followed her mother's words and married a young man from the neighboring village.
Not long after she got married, she followed her man south to work and earn money. Later, she did very well and her family was very well off.
Chen Xingling smiled and advised, "Don't worry, just take your time to look for a job. If you can find an easier job in the factory logistics or cafeteria, earning a fixed salary every month, that's pretty good."
"I...can I?" Zhao Xiaoxing wiped her hands and nervously explained, "I haven't read much and I don't know many words."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Don't worry, the factory is so big, there are many kinds of jobs, not all jobs require literacy. Ayi works in the factory, and you are his partner, so it stands to reason that you can take care of him a little. When Aqi comes back, I'll ask him to help you think of a solution."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, big brother." Zhao Xiaoxing said gratefully, "Sister-in-law, thank you."
Chen Xingling smiled and whispered, "We are one family, you are welcome. But I have to remind you that this kind of work is usually temporary, not formal. But it doesn't matter, if there are other opportunities in the future, we can do something else."
"Hey!" Zhao Xiaoxing nodded hurriedly: "I'll listen to you, sister-in-law!"
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xingling took Zhao Xiaoxing and Xiaohuzi back to the city.
When I was at the shipyard, it happened to be the workers' time to get off work, and all who came and went were workers in blue work uniforms.
Gu Yi came back with a big smile on his face, saying that his job went very smoothly today and his colleague from the Human Resources Department personally took him to the Ministry of Water Resources to report.
"Director Guo has arranged for a master to guide me. I heard that he is a senior in the factory with very high qualifications. The master is very kind and takes good care of me."
Zhao Xiaoxing was very happy for him and encouraged him: "Then you should study hard and work hard."
"Hey!" Gu Yi hugged the little tiger and kissed him again and again, saying with a smile: "I haven't seen you for more than ten days! I missed you so much!"
The little guy laughed loudly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Xingling suggested, "Xiao Xing and I will go upstairs to make porridge first, and you can go get your mother and Qin Tiantian to come over."
"...Okay." The smile on Gu Yi's face disappeared instantly, and he gritted his teeth and walked towards the guesthouse.
Chen Xingling and Zhao Xiaoxing took Xiaohuzi upstairs.
The little guy asked curiously: "Mom, is grandma here?"
"Yeah." Chen Xingling prepared him mentally: "Grandma is very angry. Don't be afraid or take anything she says seriously."
Little Tiger nodded obediently: "Oh!"
After entering the house, Chen Xingling had just packed up the things she brought from her mother's home when she heard Li Ying's signature loud voice coming from outside the house.
Zhao Xiaoxing was startled and hurriedly put down the half-drunk cup of water, then stood up nervously.
Little Tiger was used to hearing this since he was a child, so he continued to drink it.
Chen Xingling opened the door and saw Gu Yi carrying two large luggage bags in front, Li Ying gasping for breath in the back, and Qin Tiantian carrying a large military bag, supporting Li Ying's arm very considerately.
Li Ying cursed with a dark face: "Did you listen to me? You haven't said a word for most of the day! Are you deaf?!"
Gu Yi ran away as fast as he could, and seeing Chen Xingling standing at the door, he smiled excitedly as if he had seen his savior.
"sister in law!"
Li Ying stopped cursing and stared at his daughter-in-law above with wide eyes. For a moment, he almost didn't recognize her!
I saw that Chen Xingling had cut her hair short. Her hair was no longer yellow, but black and smooth. Her cheeks were no longer sallow and pale, but white and smooth with a touch of healthy red.
She is no longer skinny, but a little plumper. She is wearing a very nice green sweater and tight pants. She looks radiant, a world of difference from before!
Li Ying didn't know how to describe it, as she didn't know many words. She just felt that Chen Xingling seemed like the wife of a wealthy family in the city. She was completely different!
Qin Tiantian looked at Chen Xingling, whose temperament, appearance and clothes had completely changed, and was stunned for a moment, then began to feel jealous.
If Brother Qi hadn't brought her here, Chen wouldn't have had the good life she has today!
Humph! They all stole and robbed her!
She smiled sweetly and called out sweetly, "Sister Ling!"
